January 2019 Summer Sc
Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe that 2019 is officially here! It
always feels good to welcome in a new year with new opportunities and
experiences. Here in Logan, the winter break will end on January 7 and
students will come back to USU for spring semester!
We’re already preparing for 2019 in the Summer Citizens office. We’re
proofreading our program book and, of course, packing our bags and
boxes for the first week of February when we come to beautiful Arizona.
In order to provide more accurate counts, we would like each person
attending to RSVP. Everyone who RSVPs will be in a drawing for a free
class voucher!
We hope each of you enjoy celebrating the New Year. Spend some time
appreciating the old year and welcoming in the new. Happy 2019!

New Year’s Resolutions
Many of us make New Year’s Resolutions at the start
of the new year. We looked up some tips you might
find interesting on keeping your goals throughout
the year:
1) Just pick one thing - You’ll overwhelm yourself if
you try to change everything at once.
2) Plan ahead - Do some research and find out what
your goal will require. Get everything ready so
keeping your goal will be as easy as possible.
3) Anticipate problems - Make a list of potential
problems and decide how you’ll deal with them.
4) Pick a start date - This doesn’t even have to be
New Year’s Day, just pick a start date that works
for you.
5) Go for it - Give 100% in accomplishing your goals
and provide reminders for yourself.
6) Accept failure - It’s OK if you don’t achieve your
goal right away or if improvement seems slow.
7) Plan rewards - You deserve a reward
when you achieve your goals!

Today’s spotlight is our new Summer Citizens Assistant Coordinator, Katie Sonderegger Smith. She was born in Irvine, CA and is 22 years old. At the age of five Katie and her family moved to Meridian, Idaho. In Idaho Katie developed a love for boating, camping, hiking, running, and snowboarding.
Utah State is where Katie chose to attend college because she loved the campus, the city, and knew that the Huntsman School of Business would shape and stretch her. After her freshmen year Katie served as a full-time missionary for her church in Lansing, Michigan for 18 months.
The summer after her mission Katie worked at a youth camp owned by The Boy Scouts of America in Huntsville, UT. That summer Katie learned how to repel, rock climb, archery, throw axes, do skits, and became a certified lifeguard. Katie loved being outdoors for the entire summer.
Katie met her husband while doing a group project for a marketing class. They dated for about a year and were married May 12, 2018. Katie says, “He truly is the best part of my life.” During the summer of 2018 she interned at the Business Resource Center for Zions Bank in downtown SLC. Katie just finished her final semester at USU in December of 2018 and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Marketing.
